A process in which a mobile station is directed, or directs itself, toward an electromagnetic, thermal, sonic, or other source of energy, whether primary or reflected, or follows a vector force field or a gradient of a scalar force field. 2. In radio direction-finding, the locating of a moving signal source by a moving direction-finding station that has a mobile advantage. 3. The act of approaching a source of electromagnetic radiation in which the approaching vehicle is guided by a receiver with a directional antenna. 4. Seeking, finding, intercepting, and engaging an object, i.e., a target (fixed or mobile) that may contain a signal source.
Industry:Telecommunications
A process in which images or listings of goods and services are viewed remotely via electronic means, e.g., a vendor's Web site, items are selected for purchase, and the transaction is completed electronically with a credit card or an established credit account. Note: Various encryption schemes may be, and usually are, used to reduce the risks of sending sensitive information, such as credit-card numbers, over the Internet or other telecommunications facility.
Industry:Telecommunications
A process in which the continuous range of values of an analog signal is sampled and divided into nonoverlapping (but not necessarily equal) subranges, and a discrete, unique value is assigned to each subrange. Note: An application of quantization is its use in pulse-code modulation. If the sampled signal value falls within a given subrange, the sample is assigned the corresponding discrete value for purposes of modulation and transmission.
Industry:Telecommunications
A process intended to render magnetically stored information irretrievable by normal means.
Industry:Telecommunications
A process of defining the hardware and software architecture, components, modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specified requirements. 2. The preparation of an assembly of methods, procedures, or techniques united by regulated interaction to form an organized whole.

Industry:Telecommunications
A process or means by which gain is automatically adjusted in a specified manner as a function of a specified parameter, such as received signal level.
Industry:Telecommunications
A Process that has not been evaluated or examined for adherence to the security policy. It may include incorrect or malicious code that attempts to circumvent the security mechanisms.
Industry:Telecommunications
